Is Deep Forest the best alternative to deep neural networks?

I have to admit that I haven't tried deep forests in practice, yet. However, based on the paper (despite the title “Deep Forest: Towards an Alternative to Deep Neural Networks “), it sounds like it's more of an alternative to problems where “regular” machine learning should be applied. read more
